Virtual Reality in the Classroom

Virtual Reality is just one of the many tools Beaver students use to demonstrate their imagination, creativity, and content mastery.

Lexi Clayton ’19Ella Val ’21Ben Otting ’21, and Max Sclar ’21 are at the SXSWedu Playground in Austin, Texas this week sharing the work they’ve done with VR.  For three days they’ll be talking with attendees on the floor of the expo—explaining the different tools and technologies available, helping others get started with VR, and engaging in conversations on why they like to build virtual worlds.

History Department Head Yolanda Wilcox Gonzalez, English Department Head Lisa Brown, and Middle School Spanish Faculty Lindsay Rich are also at the event and will share how we use VR to address social justice topics, build connections, and foster empathy.
